Amid the chaos, passengers prayed and held on to each other, said passenger Nasreen Pasha.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything was just fine as we were enjoying the smooth flight and hospitality.\u00a0 But all of a sudden, the flight turned rough and bumpy, shaking incessantly,\u201d Pasha said.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-the-science-and-effects-of-air-turbulence\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The science and effects of air turbulence<\/h4>\n<p>According to Islamabad-based scientist Mohammad Umer Alvi,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/climate-change\/causes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">human-induced<\/a>\u00a0environmental degradation is a factor behind unsafe skies. \u201cWith the rise in average\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/in-south-asia-heat-stress-kills-without-a-heatwave\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">temperature<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/dialogue.earth\/en\/climate\/in-south-asia-heat-stress-kills-without-a-heatwave\/%5C\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">s<\/a>\u00a0and deforestation, the atmosphere in and around big cities in the country has become more unstable. [This] leads to the formation of convective currents that result in unpredictable air turbulence, especially around big airports such as in Karachi and Lahore,\u201d said Alvi.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Extreme heat can keep planes grounded, while shifting jet streams can bring more turbulence, subsequently [adding] hazards for airport workers\u2019 health and damage to airport infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"quote-credit\">Muhammad Ayub Khan,\u00a0climate scientist,\u00a0University of Karachi<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-019-1465-z\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">global study<\/a>, whose results were published in 2019 by the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading had already highlighted the impact of climate change in exacerbating clear-air turbulence (CAT). This type of severe turbulence occurs in cloudless regions and causes violent oscillation of aircraft, but because of a lack of clouds, it is hard to predict.<\/p>\n<p>The study also noted that warmer air caused by carbon dioxide emissions increases wind shear in the jet streams, strengthening clear air turbulence globally. As a consequence, turbulence is rising over busy airspaces like the North Atlantic, where the annual duration of severe turbulence had increased by 55 per cent from 1979 to 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Sarfaraz Khan, a senior official at the Pakistan Meteorological Department said, \u201cThe forecast [for air turbulence] is made on the basis of upper atmosphere [85 km to 600 km above sea level] wind data that you get from an instrument called a radiosonde, which is released with a 100 gm balloon in the atmosphere. Usually a jet stream, with very strong winds at a level above 30,000 ft, causes turbulence.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-cd-pull-quote block--pull-quote\">\n<div class=\"block--pull-quote__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"entry-content container entry-content--gutenberg\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-10 col-md-offset-1 col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2\">\n<p>He added, \u201cThe problem with [clear-air] turbulence is that it\u2019s just moving air. And air is transparent to ultra high frequency radio waves used in radar. Without anything to reflect the signal back to the radar, there\u2019s no echo and no warning.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-the-link-with-climate-change\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The link with climate change<\/h4>\n<p>Scientists, such as Raghu Murtugudde, a climate studies professor at IIT Bombay and emeritus professor at University of Maryland, are drawing the linkages between climate change and increasing turbulence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith global warming, [there is a change in] vertical temperature [decrease in temperature with increasing altitude] and wind profiles [relationship between the wind speeds at different heights] since the earth is trying to get rid of the additional energy that is being trapped by increased greenhouse gases. Sharp upward and downward motions in the atmosphere and temperature fronts also increase [as a result], creating clear-air turbulence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jayanarayana Kuttippurath, a climate expert and atmospheric chemist from IIT Kharagpur, told Dialogue Earth,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGlobal warming induced by anthropogenic activities causes a\u00a0rise in surface air temperature across the globe. As a result, extreme weather events also become\u00a0frequent and\u00a0devastating.\u00a0It is expected that with every 1\u02daC rise in\u00a0global surface air temperature, moderate CAT events will be enhanced by about 9 per cent in spring and winter and by 14 per cent in autumn and summer\u00a0in the northern hemisphere.\u00a0If\u00a0warming becomes intense in the future,\u00a0the\u00a0number of CAT events will rise significantly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stressed the need for improving early warnings and to equip aircraft with detection instrumentation to anticipate and respond to such turbulence effectively.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bristol.gs\/how-do-pilots-handle-turbulence\/#:~:text=Modern%20aircraft%20are%20equipped%20with%20predictive%20wind%20shear%20systems%20that,when%20landing%20and%20taking%20off\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Research<\/a>\u00a0on these subjects is ongoing at IIT Bombay.<\/p>\n<p>Madhavan Nair Rajeevan, former secretary at India\u2019s Ministry of Earth Sciences said passengers have to be alert, \u201cThe increase in turbulence and its related dangers, such as severe weather occurrences, highlights the necessity for passengers to be more attentive. While the aviation sector\u2019s role in climate change is accepted, the joint effort to tackle these issues is crucial. The financial cost of flight cancellations also underscores the need for proactive steps to lessen the effects of climate change on air travel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pakistani climate scientist Muhammad Ayub Khan pointed out that said climate change is impacting the air industry in multiple ways. \u201cExtreme heat can keep planes grounded, while shifting jet streams can bring more turbulence, subsequently [adding] hazards for airport workers\u2019 health and damage to airport infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-growth-and-risks-for-south-asia-s-air-transport-industry\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Growth and risks for South Asia\u2019s air transport industry<\/h4>\n<p>All of this is happening at a time that the air travel industry is seeing significant growth, particularly in South Asia.

This would result in an additional 22.8 million passenger departures by 2038. If met, this increased demand would prop up the GDP by approximately USD 9.3 billion and add around 786,300 jobs for the country.<\/p>\n<p>In India, IATA forecasts 262 per cent growth in the next 20 years, which would result in an additional 370.3 million passenger journeys by 2037.

Water vapour quickly condenses around soot from the plane\u2019s exhaust and freezes to form cirrus clouds, which can last for minutes or hours. These high-flying clouds are too thin to reflect much sunlight, but ice crystals inside them can trap heat. Unlike low-level clouds that have a net cooling effect, these contrail-formed clouds warm the climate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some aviation experts are experimenting with green technology to reduce emissions \u2013 a result, if achieved, could impact CAT, which is worsened by carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah Qureshi, a Pakistani pilot and an aeronautical engineer aims to reduce contrails and make the aviation industry green.<\/p>\n<p>Qureshi, who holds a doctorate in aerospace engineering from Canfield University in the UK, has launched a company Aero Engine Craft to make environmentally friendly airplane engines. The engine is designed to cool water vapour in the airplane exhaust.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad Haider Haroon, an aviation expert from Pakistan, said, \u201cThe production of sustainable aviation fuels must scale up. Hydrogen and battery\/electricity powered aircrafts can make global aviation more efficient starting in the late 2030s. Fuel efficient aircrafts should be inducted by airlines with the latest technology globally\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Haroon, upgraded engines, enhanced aerodynamics, light composite materials and bio-based sustainable aviation fuel is one of the solutions for a green aviation industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we look into the sky, there\u2019s only one industry operating there,\u201d Qureshi said. Unfortunately, she added, \u201cWe do not focus much on what is happening a kilometre above us.
